 9:30 a.m. Measuring and Tuning Linux for z Servers 
           Barton Robinson, Velocity Software, Inc.
 
 
           Abstract
 
            Performance data now exists that allows
            you to manage your Linux server performance.
            Using this data also helps you plan platform
            changes such as moving workloads from an
            Intel platform to an S/390 platform.
 
            Managing Linux performance on an S/390
            under z/VM with shared memory, shared
            processor and even shared DASD provides
            a different set of challenges as compared
            to managing performance for dedicated
            Intel servers.
 
            This presentation will look at some
            Linux performance issue and technology
            used to analyze and manage Linux
            performance - either for dedicated servers
            or under VM.
 
            The author has worked with VM performance
            for 20 years, and is the author of performance
            tools for VM, Network and Linux, and is
            well versed in how to apply performance data to
            real problems.
